Chapter 1148 Untitled Feng Wu asked,
A strategic partnership?
Feng Xun nodded.
Yes. They formed an alliance. And the Zuo family is already in an alliance with the Dugu family.
Feng Wu nodded.
I see.
Feng Xun snorted.
If those three families really join hands, their influence will be unprecedented. If that happens, Northern Feng Mansion will never be able to suppress them.
He then chuckled.
But what happened at the birthday party was such a happy coincidence. A spoiled third generation of the Zuo family, and the oldest daughter-in-law of the Xuanyuan family, who is also in charge of the household affairs – not only were they having an affair, they were also caught in the act by so many people.
The Xuanyuan and Zuo families tried to keep the news from spreading, but it isn’t something that they can keep a secret. Northern Feng Mansion certainly won’t let that happen.
Feng Xun gloated.
That’s what I’ve been doing these days: making sure that the entire imperial capital knows about it. Everyone is talking about the love affair between those two now.
He then turned to Feng Wu.
So the two families are at loggerheads, and they won’t form that close alliance now.
Moreover, Zuo Qingliu is dead now. It was done very quietly and without a trace.
Feng Xun said with a smile,
The Zuo family thinks the Xuanyuan family did it, and the Xuanyuan family thinks it was the Zuo family. They’re busy suspecting each other now. I’ll be surprised if they can still work together after this.
Feng Wu was pleasantly surprised.
She never expected killing Zuo Qingliu to bring so many merits.
Back when she visited the Flying Guillotine, she had picked Zuo Qingliu only because he was an easy target. Poor kid…
So, what’s the bad news?
asked Feng Wu.
The bad news is…
Feng Xun glanced at Feng Wu.
The whole thing started when they went looking for you. Since the two families have no one else to blame, they’ve decided to blame you now.
Feng Wu said,
How is that my fault?!
Feng Xun sighed deeply.
I know, but that’s the way things are. It’s only human nature to prey on easy targets. So —
Feng Wu turned to Feng Xun.
Feng Xun said,
Why don’t you move into Northern Feng Mansion for the time being? Mother thinks it’s too dangerous to leave you here.
After some consideration, Feng Wu said,
I don’t think they’ll go that far. After all, they’re each other’s biggest enemy at the moment.
Feng Wu didn’t think that the conflict between the two families was big enough yet. She needed to think of something and use this opportunity to escalate the conflict between the Zuo and Xuanyuan families.
As long as the two families were at each other’s throats, they would have no time for her, and she could continue to progress in peace.
At that thought —
I need to go to Imperial College,
said Feng Wu.
Feng Xun frowned.
Go to Imperial College? Now?
Feng Wu said,
The way to the college might be dangerous, but once I get there, I’ll have Grand Secretary Fang behind me. No one will do anything to me.
As for her family’s safety, fortunately, she had Chang San, which settled Feng Wu’s mind.
Feng Xun said,
I’ll go to Imperial College with you.
Feng Wu said,
Sure.
She was going to Imperial College for two things.
One was to apply for home schooling.
Feng Wu had done the maths: her cultivation speed would be doubled with the Taiyi formation at home, which would be so much faster than if she studied at the college.
Therefore, why should she give up such an excellent resource at home and take the long route to school every day?
